16. He supported not committing to Biden in the primary but "proudly voted for Harris"

in the general election. The movements you site were a protest against Biden's actions regarding Gaza and did not affect the outcome of the election. Momdani did NOT promote with-holding Democratic votes in the general election where it mattered.

It's important that we be clear about that. We don't want to be spreading misinformation here.

I get that you disagree with his position on Gaza, or his criticism of Biden. Are you willing to help a Trump lackey, or a man already removed from office for crimes, win because of that?

Note that your comparison is a bit of a stretch. He protested against one of Biden's policies, his right in a democracy.
He didn't threaten to deport anybody.
